Accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. In this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

This paper proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECS). It aims at extracting from the by peak regardless of speed. The proposed MPPT implements ANFIS approach with a backpropagation algorithm. rotor speed acts as input to and torque r...

This paper presents a reduced-order H∞ optimal control for wind energy conversion systems. Two different timescale (slow and fast) dynamics of wind energy conversion systems are separated and processed independently using the singular perturbation theory. By using the decomposition technique, low-order, independent H∞ optimal filters and controllers are obtained, which provide computational adv...

Grid faults are found to be one of the major issues in renewable energy systems, particularly wind conversion systems (WECS) connected grid via back-to-back (BTB) converters. Under such faulty conditions, system requires an effective regulation active (P) and reactive (Q) power accomplish low voltage ride through (LVRT) operation accordance with codes. In this paper, improved finite-control-set...

Renewable-based sources can be interconnected through power electronic converters and connected with local loads energy storage devices to form a microgrid. Nowadays, DC microgrids are gaining more popularity due their higher efficiency reliability as compared AC microgrid systems. The Microgrid has electronics between the renewable-based sources. controlled an efficient control algorithm for m...

The energy cost for producing electricity via wave energy converters (WECs) is still not competitive with other renewable energy sources, especially wind energy. It is well known that energy maximising control plays an important role to improve the performance of WECs, allowing the energy conversion to be performed as economically as possible. The control strategies are usually subsequently emp...

Power Generation from Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydro is predominant now days and among the renewable energy sources, small hydro and wind energy have the ability to complement each other. For Power generation by small or micro hydro as well as wind systems, the use of squirrel-cage induction generators (SCIGs) is mostly adopted. As regards in recent ye...

Abstract: This paper develops a robust regulator design approach to maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a variable-speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) under the concept of perturbation and observation. The proposed perturb and observe regulators (PORs) rooted on the sliding mode method employs the optimal power curve (OPC) to realize MPPT operations by continuously adjusting rotor spe...

In order to improvement of the performances for wind energy conversions systems (WECS), an advanced control techniques must be used. In this paper, as an alternative to conventional PI-type control methods, a nonlinear predictive control (NPC) approach is developed for DFIG-based wind turbine. To enhance the robustness of the controller, a disturbance observer is designed to estimate the aerody...
